Bring Back Deayton

To:  British Broadcasting Corporation

This is a petition to ask the BBC to reinstate Angus Deayton as the host of the humourous TV news show, Have I Got News For You.
Angus Deayton was sacked from the show after allegations made in the British tabloid press about drug-taking, which has not been proven and which Deayton has denied.
Not only is it unethical for the BBC to fire him based on hearsay (and possibly illegal), it also demonstrates a total lack of backbone. Until the allegations are proven, they should stand behind Deayton rather than bow to puerile tabloid pressure.
Deayton is the backbone of a terrific show which has lasted over 10 years with the same participants and same format. To drop him so unceremoniously is ungrateful at best.
Please sign this petition to encourage the BBC to re-think their decision. The show just won't be the same without him.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
